Milton House Museum

Milton House is a historic building. It was a stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of people and places that facilitated the movements of escaped slaves. In addition, the building is believed to be the first grout building built in the United States. It is also known for its hexagonal shape. The Milton House is a grout building consisting of a three-story hexagonal section with a two-story hexagonal wing. In 1937 the house was in poor condition, uninhabited, and was threatened with being demolished. The Milton Historical Society acquired and restored the building. The Milton Historical Society is a nonprofit cultural and educational organization dedicated to the historical and cultural heritage of Milton, Wisconsin and its surrounding community.
